The U.S. will learn venue specifics for the 2026 World Cup only after the December draw, but its path is clear for Group D: the opener lands at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, then Lumen Field in Seattle, with games on June 12, 19, and 25. Houston isn’t in the group-stage mix. If the U.S. advances, knockout venues will hinge on results, with potential stops in the Bay Area, Arlington, or cities like Foxborough, East Rutherford, or Kansas City. Canada and Mexico could still reach Houston for knockouts depending on progress.
